The rabbit’s paw fur long ago erased, and the bones and tendons have become as polished. The claws scraped the lining of the pocket, and you knew that your luck was with you. “During his life, Hemingway twice got into car accidents and twice into aviation accidents, several times disoriented newspapers responded to these news with obituaries.
